Could “second-life” batteries be used in stationary battery energy storage systems?

The potential to use “second-life” batteries in stationary battery energy storage systems (BESS) is being explored by several startups, along with some grant programs and a few EV manufacturers.

How do you design a second-life energy storage system?

Second-life energy storage system design should consider all the available EV battery types and examine how each battery's electrical performance is affected by its voltage drop, the shape of its voltage curve, the applied power rates, and the chosen upper and lower voltage limits.

Can used EV batteries be used for Second-Life electricity grid applications?

The repurposing of used electric vehicle (EV) batteries for second-life electricity grid applications has gained considerable momentum in both research and industry alongside the growing demand for affordable and sustainable energy storage solutions.

How can we promote Second-Life batteries?

Federal and state tax credits, rebates, and other financial incentives should be offered to promote the application of second-life batteries. The availability of battery data is critical for these , and one approach to do this is by using a software in the BMS to follow the batteries from their inception.

Can retired batteries be used in the energy storage system?

Before using retired batteries in the energy storage system (ESS), the remaining capacities of batteries need to be examined or estimated to initiate a safe and economical operation in second-life applications. As mentioned in Section 3, batteries with different SOH levels would be available for second-life applications.

Can a second-life battery be used in transport-grid applications?

Challenges and potential solutions for second-life battery application are identified. High energy density has made Li-ion battery become a reliable energy storage technology for transport-grid applications. Safely disposing batteries that below 80% of their nominal capacity is a matter of great concern to reduce overall carbon footprint.
